Halle Berry temporarily loses custody of son to ex-husband
Actress Halle Berry has temporarily lost custody of her son, Maceo, following a court ruling that currently prevents the child from staying overnight at her home. The decision follows allegations that Berry mistreated her son during a play-wrestling incident, though the actress denies all accusations of harm.
A judge has granted temporary custody of Halle Berry's son, Maceo, to her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez. As part of this ruling, the court prohibited Maceo from staying overnight with the actress for the time being, although a request to limit Berry's holiday custody rights was denied. Berry retains joint legal authority and holds the deciding vote in instances where she and Martinez disagree. A court review of the current arrangement is expected to occur in the near future.
The legal dispute stems from allegations regarding an incident in which Berry purportedly placed her son in a chokehold. The actress denies these claims, asserting that she and her son were merely wrestling after she asked him to stop playing a game. She adamantly maintains that she never intended to harm him. During the proceedings, Maceo provided private testimony behind closed doors, a process Berry unsuccessfully sought to block due to concerns that Martinez had coached the boy on what to say.
